[Air-L] question: published on the internet

[Michael Zimmer]

I think the other necessary clarification is what is meant by "published" -- that choice of term is seems loaded, presuming a purposeful action by a knowing agent.

Is something made visible due to a security hole "published"?  Something leaked? Something hacked? A confidence betrayed?
